THE H BOXERS
IN CIA'S REM
Rev- D- L- Anderson Tells an Inter
esting Tale of China-
IN LEAGUE WITH EMPRESS-
He Speaks From Eighteen Year’s
Experience as a Methodist Miss
ionary in China.
Savannah News
“The outrages perpetrated by
the boxers in China represent the
last expiring effort c i the Empress
Dowager to save herself and the
Manchu-Tartar dynasty from depo
sition. She is the inspiration and
the brains of the movement; the
members of the society are but ig
norant and vicious tools in her
hands and the hands of her minis
ters.”
Rev. D. L. Anderson, D. D.,
Methodist Episcopal missionary to
China, was talking of the boxers
and their gruesome peculiarities
with a Morning News reporter last
night. Dr. Anderson has spent
the last eighteen years of his life
in China, with two short intermiss
ions, has lived with the people,
has studied their manners, their
habits of thought, their prejudices
and their beliefs, and is thoroughly
well posted as to the prevailing
condition of affairs in that coun
try. He gave a clear and lucid
statement of the existent troubles
and their causes.
“In the Chinese language the
Society of Boxers is known as I
Ho Chuan. The meaning is with
difficulty rendered into English,
the wide difference in the idioms
of the languages not permitting a
literal translation. The word T
means ‘the public,’ or the ‘public
weal,’ or something of that sort;
‘Ho’ signifies ‘pacification,’ or
‘quiet,’ or ‘freedom from trouble;’
‘Chuan’ signifies‘by force,’or ‘with
the fist.’ A free translation of the
name of the society would be, ‘Pub
lic Weal Secured by the Fist.’
“From this combination of words
the name of the society has been
shortened into Boxers. Its osten
sible purpose is the protection of
the country from the introduction
of western customs and civiliza
tion. with their imaginary evil con
sequences; its real, underlying rai
son d’etre is the conviction of the
Empress Dowager, that her in
fluence and her throne are totter
ing, and that the expulsion of the
foreigners is the one thing that
will serve them both from
destruction
"Secret societies in China are
not new,” continued Dr. Anderson.
“In China they take the place of
political parties and a great many
of them are founded on the pop
ular discontent with the reigning
dynasty, which is Manchu-Tartar
and not Chinese. Revolutions are
frequent, riots and disorder of com
mon occurrence, and some one of
the societies is usually at the bot
tom of the trouble.
“It is altogether probable that
the Boxers have maintained a sub
rosa existence for a long period of
time, but they rose into prominence
some two years ago. Two Ger
man Cathalic missionaries in the
province of Shantung had been
butchered by a mob and the Ger
man government demanded satis
faction, redress and indemnity.
In addition t* the port of Kio
Chow, which it secured, it required
that it should receive certain rail
roads and mining concessions.
“A decree of the Empress Do
wager promised, and, indeed, gave
these concessions, but at the same
time a secret order was sent to the
officers of the province directing
that every stumbling v block be
thrown in the way of the German
government making use of the
grants and that they should be de
feated if possible. Of course, some
ostensibly unefficial feme had t)
be used to accomplish this end
and the Boxers were selected as
furnishing the right kind of ma
terial. The Germans have never
attempted to make use of the con
cessions that were granted them,
but the Boxers were doubtless
ready if any such attempt had been
made.

dent that they were ufider the pro
tection of the government. They
ha/e been organizing and drilling
under the eyes of government offi
cials, and everybody around, ex
cept the officials, understood what
these preparations meant. In the
early pan of the year an English
man, Mr. Brooks, was killed, and
a number of Chinese Christians
were massacred. Nothing was
done, though the outrage was re
ported to the government and the
offenders were well known
“The whole thing is an old story
in China. The Empress Dowager
who has ruled the country with an
iron hand for twenty years, and is
cordially disliked by the better ele
ment of the people throughout the
empire. It will be remembered
that in 1898 she deposed her
nephew, the then emperor, and has
since kept him under confinement.
Shortly before that period the coun
try had become impregnated with
the spirit of reform and the em
peror himself was a leader in the
movement. All over the country
schools, which were ‘teaching the
new learning,’ had been establish
ed and were in successful opera
tion. A healthy spirit of advance
ment was in the air and every
movement for the good of the peo
ple was heartily seconded by the
emperor. With the deposition of
Kwang Hsu the schools vanished
and the reform spirit in official cir
cles, died a sudden death.
“The Empress Dowager has no'
personal following throughout
China, the large and influential,
intelligent and wealthy classes
among the people holding her in
cordial dislike. The Boxers are
made up for the most part of ig
norant countrymen. They are of
the class that is transformed by op
portunity and the thought that
thetfe is more in it from peaceable
citizens into lawless brigands.
Easily stirred up and excited and
outrage at the shrewd dictation of
a few bold and unprincipled men.
“It is a mistake to suppose,”
said Dr. Anderson, "that the Box
ers are scattered ovei the entire
empire. They are to be found
principally in the uorthern part of
Shantung and the southern part of
Chili Li provinces, the latter pro
vince being that in which Pekin is
situated. They are receiving, as
I have said, the support of the Em
press Dowager, her idea being that
the expulsion of the foreigners
will kill the spirit of progress and
reform and thus still the objec
tions to herself and her dynasty.
Dr. Anderson believes that more
troops should be sent by the Uni
ted States to Pekin for the protec
tion of American, residents. The
Boxers are being joined now by
the troops of the Chinese army,and
are in this way becoming much
more formidable antagonists. The
Empress and her Manchu advisors
at Pekin are unable to understand
anything more of the power and
strength of a nation than they can
see under their eyes, and they are
prone to discredit the resources of
any country that they see repre
sented only by a few score of men.
A show of force is necessary, and
would suffice to awe them into sub
mission.
The missionary believes that the
people of China would consent to
the restoration of Kvvang Hsu un
der a joint protectorate of the pow
ers, and that they would welcome
it. In this connection it would be
possible for the United States to
t ike the initiative, as there is
no jealously of the part of those
of the continent of Europe. On
the other hand, England and Rus
sia are at odds, and neither would
couset to the other taking charge
of the suppression of the Boxers,
and the installation of the rightful
monarch on his throne. The Chi
nese, too, believe in the honesty
and sinceriiy of the United States.
If prompt action were taken by
the powers or by the United States
alone, Dr. Anderson believes that
the Boxers’ rebellion might easily
be suppressed and much possible
bloodsiud averted. In his opinion j
8,000 or xo.ooo seasoned troops 1
could accomplish this end without
trouble.
Dr. Anderson does not place
much faith or confidence’ in the
easily arranged plans.
The American Girl’s Marriage
“ When the American girl defers
her choice of a husband until she
has had a reasonable opportunity
to see something of mankind, and
had a chance to compare the good
with the had, she is pretty apt to
strike a good average for herself,”
writes Edward Bok in the Ladies’
Home Journal. “Asa rul* she is
a pretty good judge of men, when
she gives her judgment time to as
sist her to a wise conclusion. The
point is to get her to wait. It must
be said to her credit that she is
waiting longer than she did form
erly. It is not so many years ago
that a girl was considered of mar
riagable age when she became six
teen or seventeen years old. If
she married then, or shortly after
ward, it was not such an unusual
thing. Twenty-five years ago girls
generally married at nineteen,
while today the average is closer
to twenty-three. The marriage of
a girl in hei teens causes actual
surprise in these days. Out of a
list of one thousand marriages re
cently compiled, just one-half the
brides were between twenty-two
and twenty-five; two hundred were
between twenty-fiye and thirty.
Still there were three hundred un
der twenty years of age, And
nearly all these young gir'i mar
ried men under twenty-two —mere
boys, in other words. And this is
the fatal part of a girl’s marriage
at too early an age. Instead of
choosing a man for her husband
she is very apt to choose a boy.”

NEW INSTALLMENT PLAN.
And How One May Get Married In
That Peculiar Way.
Mort is Wace in “Now Lipp ncolt.”
A bridegroom once came to the
minister to engage him to perform
the wedding ceremony, and after
a’.l the arrangements had been
made the br'degroom-elect said
frankly:
“I’ll ! tell you right now that I
can’t pay all in one lump the three
dollars I am planning to give you
for the job. I have had a cut in my
wages, and I won’t have the three
dollars to spare all at one time. I’ll
give you a quarter after the wed
ding, and then I’ll come around to
your house every Saturday night
and pay you a quarter until I am
square with you. I don’t like this
here g'.ttin’ married on '.he instal
ment plan, but it is the best I can
do.”
Said a southern minister:
“One of the queerest fees I ever
received was from a young negro
bridegroom for whom I performed
the wedding ceremony at mv own
home. At the close of the cere
mony, and just as the bridal party
of five or six were about to depart,
the bridegroom sa : d, ‘Yo’ will find
de fee for yo’ kindness out in a
co'nali ob de po’ih, sah.’ I fol
lowed the party out on to the porch,
and when they had gone on their
way I looked in a corner of the
porch, where I found a pair of fine
fowls tied together by the legs.
They set up a lusty squawk as I
picked them up. The bridegroom
had said as he went down the steps
that they were ‘ob his own raisin,”
but I never felt quite sure of that.”

by the pains they bore through the day.
There is no rest and no refreshment for
them even in sleep. This condition is

HOT WATER FORA WHOLETOWN
Novel Manner of Utilizing: the
Waste Steam of a Power Plant.
The Delaware Electric Light
and Power company, of Delaware,
0., is arranging to supply the
whole town with a hot water heat
ing system, the water being heated
from the exhaust steam of the en
gines, The Scientific American
says: In all manufacturing now
adays the utilization of by-prod
ucts, hitherto thrown away, marks
a distinct advance. In the making
of electricity, either for light or
power, where the current is pro
duced from dynamos driven by
steam engines, there results a large
amount of waste steam —the ex
haust which is usually thrown
away. This steam still contains
more than three-quarters of the
heat originally imparted to it by
coal burned under the boilers. In
this hot water system forthe entire
town the greatest by-product of
the electric light and power busi
ness becomes a source of great in
come. The steam is first used in
the engines, after which it passes
as exhaust through a feed water
heater, which heats the fresh sup
ply of boiler water. The feed wat
• - absorbs only about io per cent
of the exhaust steam, the remain
der being then passed to a large
steel beater of small tubes, sur
rounded by water.

The kidneys are subject to catarrh the
same as any other organ. The catarrh
may be slight, giving rise to little or no
disturbance, or severe, producing a
genuine case of Bright’s disease of the
kidneys. The symptoms of catarrh of
the kidneys are weak back, dull pains
In back and hips, sometimes high
colored and sometimes clear urination.
Catarrh of the kidneys quickly leads
to chronic Bright’s disease. Pe-ru-na
should be taken at the appearance of
the first symptom. If taken in the
early stages of the disease Pe-ru-na is
sure to cure every case. Pe-ru-na cures
catarrh of the kidneys simply because
'it cures catarrh wherever Located. No
other systemic catarrh v remedy has as
yet been devised. Insist upon having
Pe-ru-na. There are no medicines that
can be substituted. There is no other
remedy that can be relied on to cure ca
tarrh of the kidneys. Pe-ru-na oures ca
